Configuration POM
8. Configuration POM (Programming on the Main)
The SwitchPilot 3 may remain installed on your layout during pro-
gramming. For POM to work, your command station must also
support „Programming on the Main (POM)” for accessory deco-
ders (!). Thanks to RailCom®, ECoS owners can even read out the
values (see chapter 11).
8.1. Connection to the digital system
The SwitchPilot 3 does not require any special connections. It may
remain wired as shown in chapter 5.2. respectively 5.3.
8.2. Reading and writing CVs with POM
Select “POM” as well as „Accessory decoder” on your command
station. Make sure that the correct accessory address is selected.
You can write all the CVs of the SwitchPilot 3 decoder and read
them subject to the capabilities of the command station. With the
ECoS, this is done as follows:
• Go to the main programming menu of the ECoS.
• Select “POM”, “DCC” and “Accessory decoder”.
• Select the „POM address” of the SwitchPilot 3. Alternately the
corresponding turnout numbers are displayed as well.
• Select the CV you want to read or write.
• Press the „Read” or „Write” button.
With the aid of Z21 maintenance tool, the ROCO® Z21 can also
read or write the CV values of the SwitchPilot 3.

For this to work, RailCom® must be active on the SwitchPilot 3.
Please also refer to chapter 11.
Unfortunately, many command stations do not support the POM
mode for accessory decoders, but only for mobile (locomotive)
decoders. In this case, configure the SwitchPilot directly using its
display.
